From the song’s title, I: The Weapon, sets the scene of a dystopian society. The narrator, the weapon (a wolf?), is commanded by a demon to enslave the population of this society. They harass and beat the populous into submission with impunity.
This draws parallels to Metropolis' societal structure...
This is the final moments of our last days
Release and cease, beating yourself into submission
With poisoned blood, the demon speaks
See how the wolves devour the weak
They will not inherit
Eyes closed but forced open and bodies shaken awake
Inhale and cease, beating yourself into submission
With poisoned blood, the demon speaks
See how the wolves devour the weak
No one holds us accounted
